Building a Shared Understanding of PBL for Leaders

To lead Project-Based Learning (PBL), principals and district leaders must foster a shared vision, provide targeted professional development, ensure systemic support (time, resources, coaching), communicate clearly with all stakeholders (teachers, parents, community), and model a culture of inquiry, iteration, and authentic student-centered learning, moving beyond just projects to build essential habits like critical thinking and collaboration.

This webinar will focus on three areas;  articulating the purpose and benefits of PBL, fostering environments of inquiry, and promoting student voice through the exploration of authentic audiences.
